Helm Personnel Manager™

As a personnel manager you’re faced with challenges and time pressure when it comes to scheduling and payroll. Your first priority is to ensure qualified crew are scheduled for jobs, which requires top of mind knowledge of availability and qualifications. The larger your fleet, the more difficult a task this becomes, especially with changing variables, such as weather or human elements, like expiring credentials, personality conflicts, vacations and injuries. Once the fleet has been properly scheduled your crew are relying on you to ensure that their pay is calculated accurately and on time. You also need to keep accurate records in relation to their accumulated time off (ATO), and historical work schedules for their Sea Time letters. Depending on how you’re managing this information, these tasks can use up a lot of your time and resources.


Helm Personnel Manager™ is designed to simplify the job of managing personnel. Crew scheduling information such as qualifications, credentials, preferred shift schedules, injuries and personality conflicts can be sourced instantly. Helm allows you to easily schedule multi-position crew members and shore-side staff in terminals and shipyards, as well as build crew rotation plans and staggered rotating crews. Any union details and regulations are stored in the Helm database for easy access. Helm Personnel Manager™ also automatically calculates gross payroll against work schedules and tracks leave time so errors are reduced to a minimum, crew aren’t over or underpaid, and your time isn’t wasted sourcing and reviewing payroll records.

    "From the initial presentation during the evaluation process of alternative systems, it was evident that HELM was visually and graphically superior, encompassed all of the facets required to manage the many varied payroll and crewing functions, and most importantly, was user friendly."
